arm64: move kernel image to base of vmalloc area
This moves the module area to right before the vmalloc area, and moves the kernel image to the base of the vmalloc area. This is an intermediate step towards implementing KASLR, which allows the kernel image to be located anywhere in the vmalloc area. Since other subsystems such as hibernate may still need to refer to the kernel text or data segments via their linears addresses, both are mapped in the linear region as well. The linear alias of the text region is mapped read-only/non-executable to prevent inadvertent modification or execution.
